I'm in the 65th percentile (approx.) for GPA and 75th for LSAT, but applied within the past week... how big of a disadvantage does that put me at? Do you think I still have a decent shot? FSU has quickly become my number one choice once I decided to apply to schools outside of CA (where the law schools to legal opportunities ratio is far too high and COL even worse).

I think your odds of getting in will increase significantly after 4/1 because a number of people will not accept their FSU offers.

I still haven't gotten mine and I was accepted back in late November.

ok, was just curious on whether people had heard about getting any grant money...if that even exists at fsu. i didn't get merit $, but i filled out the need-based scholarship application. now that i'm pretty sure i know where i'm going, i'm starting to do some financial planning, which is...disturbing. hello serious debt

Don't say hi to that debt yet. Perhaps scholarship funds will be redistributed after they have a better idea of this year's class.
